In this video, we explore how our dependence on paychecks to meet basic needs keeps us trapped in a cycle of survival—and how the People’s Library offers a real, community-powered alternative.
Instead of relying on profit-driven markets, what if we built a system where access to food, housing, and transportation wasn't tied to income, but to shared contribution?
🎥Imagine living in a world where you didn’t need a paycheck to survive—where your basic needs were met not through money, but through shared community resources.
This short video introduces the core concept of the People’s Library, a parallel economy built on care, contribution, and collective access.
🌱 What is the People’s Library? The People’s Library is a new kind of economy—one that exists alongside markets but isn’t defined by profit, ownership, or competition. Inspired by the simplicity of a public library, it’s a system where food, housing, transportation, tools, and more are shared within a community, not bought or sold.
Instead of working just to survive, people contribute meaningfully to their communities and access what they need—without rent, debt, or scarcity. It’s about freedom, purpose, and thriving together.
